[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Who killed them? Remus was pretty sure it had to be Regulus given the timing, but he didn’t want to tell that to Sirius. But he couldn’t lie to his friend. He pursed his lips and considered his options. Sighing he shook his head and pulled at his right ear a bit. “Honestly we don’t know. There’s no proof leading to who it was, could’ve been. They were killed earlier that day.” Remus nods and swallows. Even if he was pretty sure it was Reg, he didn’t know for sure, so he wasn’t telling a lie – and just like the Aurors who arrived told him, there was no proof so there was nothing they could do against a boy still at school – especially when that boy was a Black. Remus pursed his lips again and then pinched the bridge of his nose. He wanted to ask him to do something, but he felt guilty for it. Since Sirius was there, saying he would do as much as he could to help him with this situation. He was right, Reg could try to kill him. He could defend himself, of course, but he would rather not get in a fight… but if it was two vs one… Reg would likely be smart enough not to attack them. “I – I want to meet up with him again. Get more information from him. But you’re right, he could try to use me, or worse.” He shook his head and quickly ran his hand through his hair. “Come with me. I – I know you – I know it would be hard to face your brother, but – I want – no I need to know what he knows, everything he knows about my sister. And I can’t go alone. There’s James but…” He looked down at his lap. “You know him better than James would. Even if its been… awhile.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? For a moment he was reminded of his friend. Sirius was always like that. Instead of hurting someone, he was more worried about them hurting him. And he was sure she felt the same as well. It was better, really, like that. No pain, all pleasure. But Remus couldn’t help but wonder if that felt empty. A life without someone you could depend on, someone to love more than anything, one person you can share that pleasure with. He smiled a bit and nodded. Remus wasn’t a daft person – he was pretty sure from the way she was talking that her husband had passed away – or something worse. Dementors got to him. Tortured to insanity. Something like that. Either way, he wasn’t around anymore. “… I suppose you’re right. I’ve… gotten used to people telling me no one will ever love me – and – and things like that. Or well, when I say people, I mean my father. My friends tell me all the time I’m almost getting down on myself, but… it’s hard not to when at home that’s all you ever hear.” Plus, she was older from the way she looked, and she had more experience than he did with these sorts of things. But she also didn’t know what was wrong with him. If she did… she wouldn’t be saying these sorts of things, he was sure. “O-O-Oh, w-w-well…” He quickly looked at his hands and twiddled his thumbs. “Doesn’t uh… have to be a woman…” He said that part in almost a whisper and then a bit louder, and quite quickly afterwards, as if hoping she wouldn’t comment on that part he added, “Someone strong and unique and kind… and feisty. Someone who would slap me if I ever try to get too… down on myself. Someone who will be with me even when I’m down, someone I can talk to about my feelings and not look at me like I’m some sort of loon.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Remus sighed and leaned back covering his face for a moment, his fingers dragging down his skin a bit before it snapped back up in place. “No offense taken.” He had to agree. At least from what he was told, she really seemed to need some help in the mental area. But then again, he hadn’t heard her side of it yet. “Well, after he told me about… all of it, he ran off. The mark appeared in the sky, above where I found two people dead in a flat. Upstairs I could… smell that she was there. And he was there. So at least them being together was truthful.” He sighed once more and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Three weeks ago I heard from one of our own that she was seen with Severus heading up to a room together, so it isn’t… far-fetched for that part either. I was hoping it wasn’t…” He groaned and leaned his head back to look at the ceiling. Obviously, this was paining him just thinking about it. “Anyways, I don’t know what he wants. Apparently, he wants her to get help. Could be that he wants to try to get me to trust him. Learn Order secrets. Though maybe I could use it against him, use him to funnel false information and get information from him in return. I dunno. Dumbledore told me to leave him for now.”How COULD he help her? She was an adult. She could make her own decisions. But she was still his sister and he wanted to help her. He wanted to make sure she was okay mentally. Not going insane. “I don’t know. Lock her up, keep her under house arrest. I don’t know. She never listens to me anyways. We… had an argument near graduation, haven’t spoken since. But… I don’t want her to be hurt. You know Severus would fuck with her head. Turn her against us, maybe even make her a Death Eater as well.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Remus chuckled nervously and looked down at his lap for a few moments. “Well I suppose it is just surviving. I don’t know if I deserve a life.” He frowned and shook his head. “I was mostly just… thinking about how I missed my sister. And how… I wished I could… have someone who loved me. You see, I’ve had a total of two crushes in my entire life. One is one of my best friends, so that will never happen. The other, my other best friend is in love with, and so THAT would never happen either. Not to mention, I doubt a lot of people would be okay with… well me, in general. You might not mind the scars, but I do. They’re a constant reminder as to why I’m dangerous.” Remus, you really shouldn’t say things like that. Mostly because then people might guess what you are, and if that got public… it would just end badly. He would be shunned from society as a whole, he would be hated – he couldn’t let his friends be dragged down by that either. He would leave his friends and likely never let himself be found again. And he didn’t want that. He loved his friends. He wanted to fight for them, not run and hide forever. Right now, it was the best solution. No one knew, and he could be treated like a normal person. Remus continued to stare at his lap while Caitlyn flirted with the waitress, his face still tomato red. “I – I suppose so.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? It wasn’t easy for Remus to trust someone, but there was something about her that made him… feel like he had known her for a long time. He wasn’t sure why. And so, when she asked him to take her word on it… he nodded. “Alright. I’ll take your word, Lily.”Grinning, he cut a piece of his steak and offered the fork to her. “Seems we do. I didn’t think there was… anyone else who liked things like this. My friends think I’m… odd.” Or they knew why he preferred this type of food and didn’t think much of it. But he was pretty sure at first, they thought it was odd. Even now he was pretty sure anyone who wasn’t a werewolf and apparently Lily here, would hate this.

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Remus rolled his eyes and elbowed Sirius lightly. “Is that an offer? Sharing a bed with Sirius Black. I’m sure everyone would be jealous,” Remus said, his tone obviously sarcastic. Even still, that was one thing he might not say no to, but it wasn’t like Sirius would ever know that. Especially since anytime he would say something like that, it was in joke. Just like with James, though Remus didn’t harbor the same sort of crush for James as he did for Sirius. “A start?” Remus didn’t understand how that was picky, it was the bare minimum requirement he thought for a partner. “Wouldn’t you get bored if you were with basically the same girl every time, even if they were just slightly different?” While he wouldn’t be bored with the same girl every time, for someone like Sirius he figured it would be boring. Then again, he wasn’t Sirius and didn’t always understand how he thought. “Maybe something like, unique hair. Like a red-head. Or someone with bright lime green hair. Something that stands out?” Maybe that would help a bit if he was more specific. Then again, he wasn’t sure about that either. Either way, it would at least get Sirius looking and not quite so much on his case about it – not that he minded. Remus shook his head. “I thought I understood her. Now I know I definitely don’t.” He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again, taking a quick swig. They were always so close before they came to school, why did houses have to separate them so much? Why was she sorted into Slytherin? They hadn’t been that much different… or so he thought. Maybe he never really knew her at all. “Seriously? Pun intended.” He looked at him surprised that he didn’t seem to understand what that meant. “As in, I find men just as attractive as women. Being female isn’t a requirement for me to find someone sexually attractive.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? He was just about to answer, jaw open and everything and then he closed it hearing the second part of his statement. That could be taken very wrong. But he chuckled and elbowed him, and he relaxed a bit. That was something he was used to hearing from Sirius or James, so he was a bit surprised to hear it come from this guy. Especially since they had just met. “I’ve been told I’m very talented with my mouth.” Gods, he couldn’t believe he just said that. Obviously, it was a joke, no one told him that unless they meant his oratory skills. Remus nodded. “I suppose he is an attractive feline.” He stared at the kneazle for a moment and then chuckled a bit. “You do have a point that all creatures have advantages and disadvantages. Quadrupedals tend to be able to move much faster and jump higher than us bipedals. Of course, other than the retractable claws, there’s the fact they grow fur, negating the necessity for clothes to keep warm. It does make swimming a bit harder, given the fur likes to weigh them down and it’s very hard to get dry sometimes.” Rubbing the back of his head he laughed lightly. “Only two, and I avoided them as much as possible. Meeting them meant you were in trouble.”His eyes widened greatly as he stared at Toma. A bed? Offering? Oh, dear god, did he know how bad that sounded? Or perhaps his mind was simply dirty and needed to be scrubbed. “A-Ah, well you see I doubt you’d like any bed I could offer, they’re all indoors.” And single beds. Meaning Remus would have to sleep on the floor or in the bed with him. And that? That was asking for trouble. “I actually became somewhat friends with one. Though his mate did not like me. Nor did his offspring who attempted to eat me. Among the ones I saw, there were a bit of both, though the stripes were more common I think.” He put a finger on his chin, thinking for a few moments. Then he nodded. “I think so yeah.”His face turned to a beautiful tomato red as Toma seemed to not understand. Gods, he didn’t understand how bad it sounded? Remus quickly shook his head. “N-N-Not an offer! It just – the way it was phrased – it sounded like you – you were offering, y-y-yeah?”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? An exchange? He shook his head and chuckled lightly. “I’d like to say that I don’t live a bad life, and I usually have none of those.” Then again you were just sitting there sad about your life. “What’s it an exchange for then?” For his company? He was pretty sure he wasn’t good company. Terrible company in fact. He chuckled again running a hand through his hair. As they approached the place, he didn’t recognize it. He’d never been here before, but he also wasn’t surprised by that. Now if Sirius didn’t know about this place… that’d be surprising. When she took off her trench coat, he couldn’t help but stare a bit. However, when he heard the steps of their waitress he coughed and looked to the side, only to see another beautiful woman as their waitress. His eyes widened, and he licked his lips. “Hm?” He heard his name. Oh right! He needed to order. Remus cleared his throat again and his eyes glanced around before he looked down at the menu. “I’ll just, uhm, take whatever she’s having.” He quickly handed the menu to the waitress without looking at her, his face very red.

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Remus shrugged. “I don’t know how different it is. Unlike you I haven’t… slept with anyone. Yet.” A connection? Maybe. He just wanted someone he could trust to bare himself to, someone he could be friends with, someone he could maybe fall in love with - Okay, yeah Sirius was right. He just couldn’t think of sleeping with someone who he didn’t know at all. He was very… self-conscious about his body, particularly the scars that covered him. He usually wore long sleeves, even in the middle of summer, so showing off himself naked to someone? Even that was hard for him to imagine. He raised an eyebrow and then shook his head, chuckling lightly. “I don’t know what I would like in… appearance I suppose.” Something new? That was a scary prospect, but it was always his friends who did that. Hell, they got him to open up and prank with them occasionally. They got him to allow them to come with him during the moon because of all the work they put into it. He bit his lower lip and shrugged. “Someone who isn’t… cookie cutter. A unique look to them.” He paused and pressed his lips together. “I do like someone who is shorter than me I guess?” Too kind? Remus sighed and pinched his nose. “I don’t know how that is a problem.”If he were a woman? Remus shook his head, as Sirius asked about his sister. “I don’t think I want to know either. I already know way too much about her private life. Don’t want to know more.” He sighed and lifted his hand to order a second firewhiskey. Once delivered, he took a large swig. “I don’t mind… guys in that way.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? He knew that Regulus was a touchy subject with Sirius, and most of the time he tried to avoid talking about him. However, he felt like this was something he needed to get off his chest and he trusted Sirius with all that he was, everything that he thought. He just hoped that they could work through this shitstorm. He didn’t want to be alone, and he thought Sirius deserved to know that his brother was involved… even if Sirius didn’t really consider them ‘family’ anymore. The Potters were far more his family than anyone else, and James his brother. He could still see it in Sirius’s eyes that… he regretted leaving his brother behind. A fool’s wish to think they could repair their relationship. But maybe it was because he hoped he could repair his relationship with his own sister. Even if the circumstances weren’t the same. “Well, apparently she tried to have his kids.” Remus covered his face, letting out a low groan. Just saying it made him want to gag. This whole situation was screwed up beyond anything. “Your brother’s kids. Apparently, she’s been getting around the Death Eater gang, and he wasn’t quite happy with her sleeping with someone who wasn’t him. I –“ He paused for a moment and moved his hands from his face. “I’m worried about her.” Especially since she disguised herself and tricked him into thinking he finally had something special. And that hurt a lot. But he was going to leave that little bit out for now. “I know its crazy to worry about her, she’s an adult and she makes her own decisions, but she’s still my sister. I don’t know what to do. She’s treading in dangerous waters. If she does this again, she might not be so lucky and get herself killed by picking someone not quite so… forgiving as your brother.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Remus scratched his head and then shook it. He completely understood that some people viewed that sort of release as something that was just completely natural and normal. But Remus, well, he was always afraid of letting loose. Letting himself go and just enjoying himself. Because he was afraid if he did, he would end up hurting whoever it was he let go around. There was a wild instinct bubbling beneath his surface, something that became stronger the closer to the full moon they were. He knew where it came from, and he swore it wasn’t a part of himself, and it was just the curse. But who knew if he would feel that feeling just as much if he hadn’t been cursed like this? “It’s not just feeling good. If you wanted to feel good you can do that on your own.”Raising an eyebrow as Sirius moved closer to him, he followed his friend’s gaze to the ground. For a moment he almost felt bad, like he had done something wrong to make Sirius look like that – but then he looked up with a smile. Remus shook his head and let out an exasperated sigh. “I sincerely doubt you’ll find someone who would like me, and fits… what I like in someone. Intelligent. Fiesty. Strong. Someone who can be serious, but also have fun. Someone who I could talk to about what I feel and not feel like they were judging me. Find someone like that who could stand being around such a… killjoy like me, then maybe I could spend the night with them.” He bit his lower lip, looking up for a moment. That described a lot of people he knew. But all of those people would never want to be with someone like him. Sirius? He was too into girls to like him and wouldn’t be able to settle he was sure. Lily? James loved her, and he could never get in the way of that. Heck, he even liked that guy, Toma, quite a bit, but he didn’t understand the dangers really and he’d never want to put him in the danger of being with werewolf. For almost a full week he thought he found someone, but it turned out it was his sister tricking him. To what end, he wasn’t sure. “Obviously not anyone.” Remus rubbed his eyes and finished off his glass of firewhiskey in a quick chug, setting the glass down empty. He ran a finger along the top of it, watching the colors it reflected change with his finger’s movement. “It was my own damn sister. Tricked me into thinking she was someone else. Seduced me. Isn’t that fucked up?”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? For a moment, Remus wondered what Sirius was thinking. Maybe he thought it would be a story of how he got drunk and ended up in bed with his cousin or something like that. And he needed advice on how to proceed. However, when he leaned in and whispered to him, Remus couldn’t help but smile a bit bitterly. Sirius was always a smart one, he knew that too. Most people would look at him and think he was dumb, just a pretty face. Remus knew better. Even still, with the way James and Sirius acted, he had to wonder if they’d think he would end up having a wild night one day eventually and he’d come to them to tell them about it. Problem with that was that he would likely never tell them if he slept with a girl. He would very likely not tell them he was dating someone unless he was very serious about it. A private person, Remus held things like that close to his chest even with his closest friends. Sirius knew this about him, and so it was an obvious conclusion he would come to. However, it still wasn’t completely accurate the story he had to tell him. “A bit.” Remus took in a deep breath, pausing for a moment. He whipped out his wand, quickly casting a spell so the Potters wouldn’t overhear. He didn’t want to seem rude to them by doing this, but he wanted to protect them – if they knew too much people might go after them. He was sure they’d understand. “I was informed my sister is apparently sleeping with Severus Snape. My source was your brother.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Remus grimaced. Sirius and he were very different when it came to things like this, but he could suppose he understood. He had a father who was terrible, but he never really viewed a marriage with his parental figures that was miserable, just because of convenience. Everything he saw was that his father loved his mother. That was the one redeeming quality he saw in his father: the fact he loved his mother very much. “There’s always another one, yes, but… doesn’t that make them not special?” He sighs shaking his head and taking a drink of his whiskey again. Rolling his eyes when Sirius acted cocky – he was used to it. He was used to his friend’s antics and how very different they were when they talked about girls, or well guys in his case – though he was pretty sure Sirius didn’t realize he was into guys as well as girls, but that didn’t really matter. “Maybe some girls do, but I haven’t found a girl I find attractive that also finds me attractive. And I’m not looking for a one-night stand. Nor would I lie to her about my name.” He grimaced thinking about how his sister tricked him. Using a fake name. Playing him like that. He shook his head. “Never. I would never do that. Do you know how it feels when you’re lied to like that? When you’re tricked into thinking you’re with someone, but it turns out its someone else?” He shook his head, and then sighed, taking a large gulp of his whiskey. “Sorry I just… was tricked by someone recently. I thought I had something special for once but it was ripped away.”

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? I could definitely see the two learning from each other, most definitely. Given Remus is bi, he wouldn't be against starting a relationship with a guy. In our current thread he's infatuated with, well a fake person in a way. After Reggie essentially broke the news to him, he was very quickly heartbroken and felt incredibly betrayed himself. He's not incredibly likely to want to romance anyone for a little bit at least, but he could always use friends. And maybe after a bit with the Rose stuff calmed down a hair, he could look into romance with someone. Remus would definitely want to protect Toma because he's so innocent and Remus would want to protect that sort of innocence. To him, those types of people are the ones who he's fighting for, so they don't have to deal with all of this themselves. I could see him as almost a big brother type, over protective, bodyguard type relationship with him, if that makes sense?

[googlefont="Playfair Display"][googlefont="Alice"] Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? While Remus sat on the couch looking a bit awkward, and twiddling his thumb, Euphemia brought him a cup of tea. He smiled lightly and accepted the cup and soon he was alone in there once more. Who was he to deny a cup of tea from the older parents of one of his friends… who was allowing another one of his friends to stay. That was when he heard the steps and stood up as Sirius entered the living room. Remus gave him a small smile and set the cup of tea down on a coffee table in front of the sofa. It wasn’t lost on him that Sirius seemed to have just finished a shower. Don’t mind his gaze for a moment as he looked to his hair, which while short, was still a bit damp from the shower. Remus attempted to banish the image of his friend taking a shower from his mind. After all, that was never going to happen. And he really needed to learn to control those feelings. He seemed to crush on just about everyone he met. Maybe it was because he was desperate for affection, and yet still he pushed those like that away from him because he was afraid anyways. “You should learn to time your showers appropriately.” He said it almost as if he were scolding him, but the friendly smile on his face told him he was teasing him. “I had an extremely eventful night I’m sure you’d like to hear about.” Of course, Remus was used to Sirius being late, and even planned on it. He knew his knock at the door would at least alert Sirius to the fact he was here and waiting, but it wasn’t like he minded waiting either. Fleamont and Euphemia were incredibly nice, and Remus even enjoyed talking to them about things in general. Some people might even say he was an old soul at heart.
